Legislators Ready to Act on Immigration
As the new Congress gears up for what is forecasted to be a disappointing year in immigration reform, many state legislative leaders are making plans to fight illegal immigration on the state line. Even though President Obama has promised to overhaul several untouched immigration laws, Republicans are dissatisfied and continue to look for ways to enforce border control and confront illegal immigration. It's plausible that up to seven states may try to pass Arizona-like (S.B. 1070) immigration laws in 2011 despite the bill's ongoing litigation with the U.S. Department of Justice. All seven states, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi, carry heavy support from a combination of largely republican legislators and governors. Additionally, a controversial initiative expected to be announced in Washington this week is the joint effort amongst state lawmakers to challenge the 14th Amendment and deny birthright citizenship to children born of illegal immigrants.
